Mathematician's


Oct 8, 2017, 6:17 PM

They say that paddock had some paper with calculations about trajectory's for firing on the crowd at the festival. What could he possibly be calculating. He stuck a gun out the windows and started firing down be!ow. How does doing math affect his aim and accuracy when it's dark and a huge crowd below. Not a conspiracy theorists but don't get it.

He ran calculations on trajectory so he could set his gun

mount at the best angle and lay down behind and fire away and not expose himself to return fire, I'm guessing.

Once they started scattering he had to know the holdover

on his scope to hit the pockets of people down around barriers.

The news released this fact so they could try to ban math.

And calculators.

He could have been fiquring the distance and arch of bullet to maximize the killzone. Middle of crowd. A bullet does not travel a straight line and fall straight to ground. The path would be curved at the distance

He was a very long way away. Most ballistics charts won't tell you bullet drop at that distance so he either calculated it or printed out a chart that did it for him.

Don't u need some time of instrument ie binoculars, to calculate this. Will just a scope determine these things.

Will Hillary try to ban MATH from being taught in schools now? She feels the need to remain relevant for some reason.

I don't own 30 assault rifles. Don't see how turning a dial on scope at 10pm is going to help me pick off more people when I just sporadically shoot down intp a crowd of 20000 people.

Math isn’t taught anymore.... too late

It could have potentially been calculations to correct for the Coriolis effect.

At distances of 3-400 yards his bullets would drop a foot or two. Fully automatic fire, especially with a bump stock, would scatter rounds significantly more than that.
If the media were half as smart as they think they are they would be able to tell what the math was for, if anything...
